Anyone who follows F1 will probably be familiar with the "Ronspeak" used at McLaren, mostly by the man himslef, his press department and (worst culprit) Martin Whitmarsh.
Kimi however, likes to tell it how it is. The other day when journalists were pestering him for a "Next Year is Mine" headline, asking him to say that he thought he would be champion and how great he is, Kimi simply replied:
"I don't want to sound like I'm full of bullsh*t."
ARE YOU LISTENING MR COULTHARD?!
Expect slapped wrists from Martin Whitmarsh and 1000 lines of "I endeavour, as always, to maximise the technical package and, in turn, contribute to the development of the package in assisting the team to the title".
Ronspeak for Finns

Toivotavasti...or as I would like to say..Totta kai.... as I have a gut feel that Kimi is going to be at the top in F1 for a long time...and will become a great ambassador for Finland.gavin wrote:

I just hope that he is "protected" while still young...nasty memories of a certain Ski Jumper.
Who is appearing in cabaret at Maippi's hotel next month and people are actualy buying ticket to hear him sing!
If he not too drunk to stand on the stage as has happened at other venues. 
I couldnt think of anyone more boring than him. No personality no talent no comment
Shame really that we live in a world where it's no longer enough to be the quickest, the sharpest in front of goal, the best at donking, or possessed of the fiercest slapshot in the business.
You have to be a painted fool, capable of saying witty things in several languages besides your own, and even then some bozo will say they think your girlfriend is a dog or a slag.
Who'd be a famous sportsman, eh?
Charisma = what people rely on when they have fuchs all else to offer the world.
(in a grumpy curmudgeonly mood today, and standing up for a talented if rather taciturn young man)

His girlfriend is quite nice actually..
With the amount of money he earns he should take personality lessons.
With that single statement when discribing Kimi , it hangs the rest of your comments on the line as being equaly inaccuarate.simon wrote: no talent
The boy is still only 23 years old..when you were 23 how well could you handle the international press and TV media..??
How well could you drive a Ford Prefect let alone a F1 car!?
I rest my case...and avoid having to get moderatated by Ace.
How hard is it to drive one of those things anyway???? Ive raced him on my 2003 F1 pc game and beat him every timePeter Floyd wrote:With that single statement when discribing Kimi , it hangs the rest of your comments on the line as being equaly inaccuarate.simon wrote: no talent

Its all computerised anyways they virtually drive the car from the paddock all he has to do is steer the thing.
Back to the point....hes got about as much personality as my left foot
Suggest you stick to football. ..or scale- electric and your PC games.simon wrote:[

Simon you know nothing about F1 or any other type of car racing ..
I thought it woud be easy and tried formula ford...scared the S"¤t out of myself, and they have one tenth the horse power of F1 car.
If driving F1 was so simple as you think do you think they would be paying 6 zero pay cheques to drivers!?
Back to personality..you avoided my question..about when you were 23..or even now...If some guy stuck a TV camera and mike under your nose and said "Talk the world want to hear your every word and watch your every move of body language!"...what would your first gems of comments be?

Oh deary me.
Just shows that the Football fans should stick to the simple stuff that they can understand eh, Peter? Maybe he should try driving his PC at 250Kmh into the tyrewall, and see if he's so keen to jump straight into the spare and do it again. I bet he wouldn't even get out of first gear before he'd filled his nappies with sh!t.
This bozo Simon is either actually 13 years old, or is just genuinely stupid. He can't seem to work out the tricky quotes thing, anway
There's no point even argueing with people like that.
